Abstract

Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colorless, tasteless, odorless, dangerous gas, which exists anywhere people live, and it is slightly lighter than air. The prognosis of CO poisoning varies depending on the exposure situation of CO gas, and some suffer from disorientation, urinary incontinence, energy loss, or even death after a full recovery from CO poisoning. The pathogenesis of acute CO poisoning has not been clearly identified, and the treatment protocol has also not been established.
